AROUND 8,000 athletes, coaches and technical officials from various school division offices in Davao are expected to join the Davao Regional Athletic Association Meet to be held from April 24-28.

Governor Edwin Jubahib said that preparations started after discussions with the Department of Education were finalized.

“We are honored to host this year’s DAVRAA Meet to showcase the athletic talent and skills of the young athletes in our region. We are committed to providing a world-class venue and facilities to help ensure this important event’s success of DepEd’s sports development program,” Jubahib said.
